10 Most Iconic Weapons in Video Game History

5. Lightsaber €“ Star Wars Games

Maybe it€™s because the Lightsaber had already graduated into pop-iconography before we ever saw it in a video game, but there€™s really nothing like getting to wield one of these bad boys with your own two virtual hands. There have been many games that let you wield the legendary weapon of a Force user €“ Knights of the Old Republic, The Jedi Knight Series and Force Unleashed, to name a good few €“ and the fact that these games give you access to this most sacred of weapons arguably makes them some of the greatest titles on the market, in certain circles. Check out the devastation it€™s possible to cause with a Lightsaber €“ as well as a healthy connection to The Force of course: http://youtu.be/svWH0f8wo-g Quite a few of these Star Wars video games also give you access to a whole slew of guns and melee weaponry; but if you choose a gun over a Lightsaber, I can€™t help but question your ability to make correct decisions. A more all-round iconic weapon you€™ll struggle to find anywhere €“ Skywalker knew it, Kenobi knew it, and you know it too.
